The new, turbocharged engine will be strapped to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels of the new ix25 1.6 T-GDI. The new variant can be differentiated from the outside courtesy a refreshed front grille with twin, perforated slats, additional air inlets on the front bumper, a new rear diffuser-like element at the rear hosting twin exhaust tips, and newly designed, 5-spoke alloy wheels.
